Trying to find it

I'm getting itchy fingers.

The bad thing about getting out and about in Blogworld again is all the temptation one sees.

I caved in yesterday and ordered Classic Knits after seeing Kris' wonderful cardigan.

I'm teetering on the edge of starting the Pea Pod Cardigan after seeing Alison's pared down button version.

I know it's the wrong time of year, but I'm also very tempted to start a Swiss Cheese Scarf.

The Dollar and a Half cardigan from the new IK is playing on my mind as well.  Any thoughts on the new IK layout?  I'm not convinced - I always liked having the instructions next to a large photo, not having to flip to the back of the magazine to find out yarn requirements etc.  I know Rowan does the layout with the patterns at the back, but they don't have all the adverts that IK have.  It will be interesting to see how the next few issues shape up.  On a positive note, I'm excited about Eunny Jang's appointment as editor, as I am a huge admirer of her work.

The socks are Lorna's Laces in Camouflage.  Who are they for?  Well, I hadn't given it too much thought when I cast on, but of course, they'll have to be for Sam.  They can go with his camouflage hoody and camouflage trousers; I haven't given in to the requests for a camouflage duvet cover yet, but it's only a matter of time...

Love the camouflage LL socks. I prefer the old IK version though sometimes these things grow on me and I might change my mind in a few issues.

I hate having the patterns at the back, having them next to the photo was always the thing I preferred about IK.
I have to stop reading to stop being inspired, my "I want to knit list" is HUGE.
I stopped myself from buying Scottish Inspirations for the cable cardi last week as there is no way I will want to knit something that big in a couple of months. So I decided if I still love it by autumn I will buy it then, I am getting good aren't I??

I know what you mean about blog temptation! so funny about the camouflage, my son asked for camouflage pyjamas the other day. I said I'll consider shorts...

I wasn't terribly impressed by the new IK layout, as it seemed to be change for the sake of change, instead of an improvement, as I thought it was pretty good the way it was. I'm excited, too, by Eunny's appointment, though!

Funny thing, about that Camo. When you WANT pooling and flashing -- because it would look like camouflage, duh -- it stripes. When you want stripes -- like with, oh, say, LAKEVIEW -- it pools and flashes.
